Kill a Cultist priest

Cultist priests spawn at night (22:00–07:00 in-game) on Customs, Shoreline, Woods, or Streets. Spawn chance is well under half per night raid — plan on several attempts.

Warning

Cultist poisoned knives apply a 140 HP/min toxin. Bring xTG-12 or Perfotoran injectors — without them, you bleed out fast.

Tip

Cultist priests only spawn at night (22:00–07:00 in-game) on four maps:

  • Customs — Scav base near ZB-013 extract (priest + 4 acolytes).
  • Shoreline — north of the swamp village, the Health Resort itself, the river gorge between the power station and the gas station, among the rocks east of the Path to Lighthouse extract, or northwest of the Gas Station near the Pier. One location per raid.
  • Woods — Lumber Mill or the village.
  • Streets — Zmeisky Alley Block (priest only).
Spawn chance per night raid is roughly one-in-five per map (community trackers put Customs and Woods near 20%, Shoreline slightly lower) — plan on several attempts. Queue a night raid via the matchmaking screen's time filter. Bring a night-vision device or a strong flashlight — engaging Cultists in the dark without one is rough. The priest's poisoned knife applies a toxin; bring xTG-12 or Perfotoran. Penetrating ammo helps — Cultists wear medium-tier armour. Avoid melee range.
